Should be a simple explanation but I didn't see it.
I'm either curious why this wasn't brought up or curious why everyone dismissed this: when Kibito and Shin took one of their earrings off, they were able to fuse, but why would two different sets of earrings cause this?
Also if it was "first ones taken off fuse first," then technically Goku had Old Kai's earring on his left ear and Kibito took his left one off (has earring on right) before Shin did, so wouldn't have Goku and Kibito fused first?
Or is this an animation "mistake" that was overlooked and/or the manga did it slightly differently?

Perhaps the potaras prioritize proximity. Shin and Kibito were standing right next to each other.

Don't remember the scene exactly but I know that someone mentioned that the earrings were special for the gods only and that old kai messed with them so 2 mortals could fuse together so that sounds like a workable enough solution to the problem you're suggesting.

Not quite what I was shooting at here, I take the blame for not making my point clear. Lemme try rephrasing: Goku already has the earring on before anyone else took theirs off. His earring is on his left ear. (Now suppose Kibito's earrings and Shin's earrings allow one another to fuse even though they are different sets.) Kibito took his left earring, still has his right one. If earrings of different sets allowed one another to fuse, Kibito on right, Goku on left, why didn't they fuse first during the time Shin took his right earring off? That "second" is still enough time for the other two to fuse. But otherwise I prefer Azoth's explanation for Proximity taking precedence. |

Another possibility would be that there's some connection between sets of earrings. Kibito and Shin's Potara earrings being of the same set so to speak, where as Elder Kai's was from a different/older set and thus wasn't linked to the same earrings that Shin and Kibito wear.
It would seem logical that Kaioshins and their attendants share the same set of earrings.
Personally said, I always thought their fusion was rubbish, now had Shin given one of his earrings to Kibito, it would've made sense to me, but Potara fusion happening between different pairs? That's just rubbish to me.
(It's also something that's apparently "fixed" in Super, since Zamasu had to wear Gowasu's earring, implying that Zamasu did not have Potara Earrings, but I'll keep it to that, since this is the Z section, so Super doesn't count here).
